The One-Command Full Experience

Every AXEM-SX ISO ships slim — only the essentials needed to boot, install, and reach the network. The full curated experience is one command away after install.

Read time: ~4 minutes.

The command

Pick the meta-package that matches your edition:

bash sudo zypper install axem-sx-pro-full # Pro — workstation, creator, developer sudo zypper install axem-sx-light-full # Light — older hardware, focused work sudo zypper install axem-sx-gold-full # Gold — reference build, full curated stack

That's it. zypper resolves the dependency graph and pulls in the curated set — applications, codecs, fonts, themes, and Control Hub modules — for that edition.

Run this once, then forget about it

The meta-package is installed once. Future updates flow normally through sudo zypper update. You don't need to re-run the -full install unless you've removed the meta-package.

What each meta-package brings

Work in progress

The full per-edition manifest will live here, broken down by category — productivity, creative, development, codecs, fonts. Until it's published, see the release notes for 1.0.1 on the website for the high-level summary.

Why slim ISOs at all?

Three reasons:

  1. Faster downloads. A 2.4 GB ISO is friendlier than a 6 GB one, especially over modest connections.
  2. Fresher software. What gets pulled in by -full is whatever the repos hold today, not whatever was current when the ISO was built.
  3. Tier choice. You can install the Pro ISO and pull in the Light meta-package if you change your mind, or vice versa.
